Five ways Bloodborne 2 could be FromSoftware's best game to date

Fear the new blood.

[UCForce]

If it showed at Sony E3 2017, I would die happily.

[-Foxtrot]

Then you miss out on Bloodborne 3...

[UCForce]

It's not coming out yet.

[-Foxtrot]

And if you die tomorrow it never will...

[Nu]

I would pay to C U die happily /s

[zodiac909]

WHAT IF....IT WAS RELEASED THAT EXACT DAY....Then you might die before you even got to play Bloodbourne 2.... :'(

[Perjoss]

Did i miss something, was there a leak, a hint or some other info? I thought FROM was giving these styles of games a rest for a while and working on other IP

[ABizzel1]

I think one thing they should do is make a true 3 / 4 player co-op mode.

As much as I enjoy singleplayer I have to say co-op is even more chaotic fun, and it was definitely the best way to get my friends to play the game as well, who weren't up for the challenge.

Love this video, at 0:08 the other two come in and see the boss and back up like "Oh S#!t" XD

Nah...co-op should stay away from these kind of games. The best thing about them is the "you vs the world and it's impossible like odds" themes.

If you play with friends it becomes easier, then you could do easier grinds which would level you up faster again making it easier.

If people want a game built up for co-op where it's all about fun then they should look elsewhere

[ABizzel1]

I disagree.

You want the game to be successful, and for it to be more successful it needs to sell more. If I were not able to allow my friends to join me and teach them the ropes and help carry them through stages, then they wouldn't have even bothered with the game at all, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who helped others get into the game via co-op.

And as always you can still play by yourself.

I agree the game should be made for single player first and foremost, and if scaling needs to be done to balance co-op and stop teams of 3 or 4 from grinding up fast, then so be it. But Co-op should definitely be there. There's a serious lack of good standout co-op games this generation, especially in the RPG and Hack genres. Having a traditional co-op (since it already has the foundation for it), would only make the games more accessible to the masses, and give the game more success.

But again by all means you should be able to block anyone from joining your game, and enemies should have more health and level boost should be cut back a great percentage when playing with co-op to balance the game more.

I think every souls player knows the first play through solo is the most memorable playthrough in a souls game , co op later adds replay ability and so does pvp but everyone should take on the world by themselves first

[nX]

Coop is essential for this type of game, find some friends or gtfo.

[andrewsquall]

@ABizzel1 Nah let Microsoft announce a new (needlessly) online co-op game by From Software at E3 2017 only to cancel it January 2019.

[DarXyde]

I don't mind co-op, but I refuse to use it on my first play through. I have too much pride to accept any form of help when the experience is novel.

[BlackTar187]

Woooooo

[ABizzel1]

Agreed

[objdadon]

"don't mind co-op, but I refuse to use it on my first play through. I have too much pride to accept any form of help when the experience is novel."

So there are some real gamers left in this community, a pleasant surprise.

[littlezizu]

You know you can coop in bloodborne right. Upto max 3 players. But you need find an item for coop it can be bought in shop or killing certain enemies

[ABizzel1]

"I think one thing they should do is make a true 3 / 4 player co-op mode.

XD

Yeah I know there's co-op, it's just not a traditional co-op mode.

[Helios86]

I can enjoy co-op in the soulsborne games. But I also have a rule to always play it solo first, and I advise everyone to do the same because that feeling of singlehandedly taking down a boss only comes once. Savour it people :).

But I'd rather you co-op than put the game on the shelf.

[Drakul]

We want to see BB II at E3 soooo bad.

[fenome]

So bad!!

[Hanso]

me too but i really dont think BB II will release on Ps4
I expect it on Ps5

[corroios]

Lets wait and see. This one could have a bigger impact, because now gamers already know what to expect.

[DarXyde]

So there's been a ton of speculation regarding a Bloodborne sequel.

Have we gotten anything that resembles confirmation yet? I don't mean to be a Debby downer, but you all should really manage your expectations.

It would be pretty unfortunate if everyone started getting hyped about a sequel and nothing is announced.

[ReesesPuffs]

Odds are we won't be seeing Bloodborne 2 at all unless From Software locked into a deal for sequels. That of Sony is developing it by themselves. From just got bought up by a big Japanese publisher so odds are we won't be seeing Bloodborne 2. Don't know why everyone is hyping it up.

[TWB]

From didnt get bought by a publisher AFAIK. I think it was just some sort of company and not a publisher. They have even later said that they wont be meddling with From's stuff.

[Goldby]

Sony owns the IP and had Japan Studio working with From Software,

For all we know Japan Studio may be leading the charge if From doesnt want to make these games any more

[Majin-vegeta]

The only thing they're working on 3 projects and 2 are PS exclusives with one of those being a JRPG

[Hanso]

well there is twitter foto of Miyazaki and Shu together eating.
Could mean nothing though lol

[KimikoGaming]

Bloodborne is still one of my favorite games of all time, but its content didn't quite reach the extent of other Souls games. If Bloodborne 2 has more weapons, more armor, more NPCs, and more sidequests, I will be really happy.

[PigsR4Eating]

Bloodborne had quality over quantity (DS3), I hope they continue with that formula if we ever get a sequel.

[pyroxxx]

With the DLC,.. there are already more weapons I ever needed,..(maybe add more armor for fashion borne type of thing or even color dyes for crap you wear)But would not mind them making more NPCs and their sidequest. In terms of NPCs and interactions with them I think DKS1 is still the king,.. Otherwise I think Bloodborne is a near perfect game as is.

[Goldby]

@Pyroxxx

i dye my armor all the time.

WITH THE BLOOD OF MY ENEMIES!!!!!!

[ShwaaMan]

I would say more armor/outfit sets should be on this list for sure. I used pretty much the same outfit hidden in the first level until end game. I like upgrading my characters gear. Bloodborne is one of my favorite games this gen, I would love some more customizable options.

[Movefasta1993]

I don't think they'll be a bloodborne 2 but I think they'll be a new souls like game exclusive for the PS4

[Movefasta1993]

There'll

[wheatley]

It COULD be. But there's no evidence to say it's even being made.I can hope though....

[joab777]

Ok. We know with two teams and no more Dark Souls that BB2 is in production. With Sony's recent push to release amazing exclusive s, it only makes sense.

Imho, the only real issues concerned, as mentioned the chalice dungeons, and the dlc...Kinda! First, the chalice dungeons MUST not be dropped. It adds great challenge and endgame PvE that I loved. But, it does need to be built upon. More stories and/or goals similar to the first defiled chalice.

Second, the addition of new weapons etc. must be more balanced. The dlc released amazing weapons, but nearly doubled the amount in the game. I'd love more of these in the base game to add to replayability and min/mazing builds.

Other than that, just use the freedom to add to the wild and quick gameplay. We NEED this game right now! Nioh was amazing, but by Christmas, Im gonna need my fix!

[DivineAssault]

Im absolutely sure it will be the very best.. I liked it the first game way more than dark souls 1

[sinspirit]

I wish we had an online mode. Called something like "Blood Pact". Where we can have other hunters join, including an invite system, for a massive hunt. Not necessarily to be applied to the overall online system. Just this mode/minigame.

Perhaps they could allow a co-op invite system after a certain area or when beating the game. A fountain of blood where hunters had given blood for generations. After their blood is given, it gives a sort of connection, or insight, to other hunters that have done the some.

[zodiac909]

DO you smell it??? That smell....A kinda smelly smell.....A smelly smell that smells smelly.....E3 IS 2 WEEKS AWAY!!!!!! #HYPE

[WelkinCole]

Loading times were not that bad I mean I still also play the Wticher 3 a lot but any improvement would be welcomed. That's really it for me.

[Marugo]

Nope not gonna happen , not single leak since last year.

[SaveFerris]

Judging by the reception of the first game, a sequel would be most welcome. From Software and Sony, please make it happen.

[Goozex]

Will this be exclusive from software

[Goozex]

From software and sony have good relations together
